Shujiru Raunien, you continue to impress. You're growing more competent each day and you will surely rival the Dark Council when the time is right. You have met the requirements for promotion, and a recommendation has be filed. Your accomplishments include:

• Begin to outline character history for eventual posting on the Brotherhood Wiki, as approved by House leadership or Master
• Have an approved character sheet on record
• Logon to IRC and visit Clan channel
• Participate in 3 competitions

I will continue to watch your progress, Shujiru Raunien, but my direct intervention in your promotions must come to an end.

You will go far within this Brotherhood.

May the Force guide you, Protector,

Kooks, what can I say. You have been a powerhouse of activity. Consistently participating in many DJB competitions and joining in many DJB gaming platforms. This can be seen be the amount of CFs & POBs earned lately. You have successfully ran a DJB wide competition in which many submitted, earned 27 CFs and a POB this month alone, and it's only half way into the month. Also earned a steel cross & many other crescents & competed in many competitions. You've successfully completed all requirements for DJK, but what has impressed me most is that I barely had to guide you, you wanted this and went out and earned it for yourself. I'm honestly really excited as I can see you have a bright future ahead in the DJB and Taldryan.

Congrats

Kooks, while the site tells me that you've fulfilled all of your DJK obligations, it is readily apparent to anyone inside of Taldryan that this promotion is long over due. Your activity level is amazing, participating in every competition available to you, running a fun and engaging DB-Wide competition that had a large number of submissions. While I haven't your QUA, I am very excited to have you as member and work with you going forward. Congratulations Kooks.

Kooks is a delightful Journeyman. In addition to completing the written guidelines for promotion to Dark Jedi Knight (including his Taldryan projects - collating, combining, and ultimately summarizing Taldryan ACC posts from the earlier rounds of the Fading Light tournament - making the job of recognizing the efforts for Taldryan's summit much easier), Kooks has earned himself two merit medals for his efforts, 6 crescents, and over 200 Clusters of Fire. He has also competed in 28 different competitions.

Kooks, you're a wonderful member - but now your time with the help of Howie pestering is done. You're a gamer, but I know you'll do other things too. You're part of the future of Taldryan, and for the first time in years? That future is looking bright. Don't screw it up :P

During his time as a Protector Draith Dreadsoul has logged onto #arcona in IRC, participated in 7 competitions, created an approved character sheet, worked on his character history for eventual wiki posting, and has earned a Dark Cross. For all of this and the fact that he is well past his time in rank requirement I recommend him for promotion to the rank of Guardian.

Congratulations Draith, this has been a long time coming and you have definitely earned it.

Clan Rollmaster, Arcona

To whom it may concern: Jedi Hunter Delak Krennel is now ready to take that great step forward into Knighthood. To say he has been a major active force here in Scholae Palatinae would be an understatement. Upon his return to the club he dove head first into the realms of activity be it runons, competitions, or gaming. He has also taken great efforts with his character development (pulling in from his long history in the EH), and completed an over 1500 word fiction. Along side with a very active IRC presence he has been an outstanding example to the other members of Scholae Palatinae.

To date, he has participated in 15 different competitions ranging from House run events like the Looking Home Campaign, to DJB wide ones like Gorefest. As of now, these efforts have netted him an Amethyst and an Emerald Crescent. He has taken Leadership Reports, Leadership Studies and Leadership Fundamentals as part of his continuing efforts in being a fantastic example to the rest of the house.

Even more impressive is his continuing gaming efforts which has earned him over 460 Clusters of Fire. For the last several weeks, Delak has been by far our most active gamer. This gaming has also netted him 4 Pendants of Blood, which is quite the accomplishment. This has all jumped him up to GMRG Society rank V! This is a great accomplishment for someone who isn't even yet a knight. All of his great efforts both now and before he had his dossier restored, have earned him 4 Dark Crosses.

Delak has wasted no time with getting himself to DJK. As his time in rank requirement came to an end he was able to finish everything, not wasting a second to be ready for promotion. DJK is an incredibly exciting and important time for a member, and Delak has more than earned his Knighthood. Getting to know him and work with him and his quick integration to the club has been a great honor. Congratulations Delak! I know there are a many great things awaiting here for you as you continue your DJB career! Drinks are on you!

I heard about a friend of Dante's who had joined the House, and by the time I got the chance to meet him, it's like he had always been around. Part of this may come from his long history that stretches back to a career in the Hammer's Fist, and he was quickly comfortable with the community and what was going on around him. He has quickly developed a detailed character history and contributed to the House, found his way into gaming and contributed there in a strong way, and still strives to learn more by tackling the Shadow Academy.

I am very excited to be recommending Delak Krennel for Dark Jedi Knight, a rank more fitting of his experience and contributions to Scholae Palatinae. Congratulations my friend, I look forward to all your awesome contributions to the Empire and enjoying our time writing and developing our characters together. For the Empire!

When he hit me up via email a few months ago, I figured that he was just saying hi as many of the older members from the Pre-Exodus period do from time to time. If he did join, I didn't think that he would stick with it for too long. I'm glad that I was wrong.

Since his return to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood from the far reaches of space (also known as RL), Delak has become an excellent member of Scholae Palatinae. From his diverse gaming activities (Clusters of Fires & Pendants of Blood for JA, Pazaak, SC2, and D3) to his fiction (numerous fiction competition entries plus two long character development pieces), Delak has been a constant source of activity over the past few months. He has been on by almost every day, and he has excellent communications via email on the house email group. Delak has taken on a leadership role as my Sergeant for Battle Team Dorimad Sol as we restarted my old House unit from scratch.

I am pleased to write this recommendation for the man who got me to rejoin the Dark Brotherhood back in 2002 after a long hiatus. Hopefully, it will be the first of many to come over the next few years. Congrats!
